Posted by The Spiritual Leader of INRI
Spiritual and Evangelical Church,
Oke-Afa, Isolo, Lagos, Primate
Elijah Ayodele, has condemned the
killing of Christians cross the
country.
Ayodele, in an interview with
DAILY POST on Friday, also took a
swipe at those he called “Big
Pastors” for keeping quiet in the
face of unabated attacks against the
Church.
Ayodele, while lamenting the recent
attack on Christians, said “They slit
the throat of a woman preaching in
Abuja; they beheaded a 74-year-old
woman in Kano; they nearly killed
another poor carpenter for not
observing fast; they attacked a
Church in the Niger for holding a
service on Friday, and so on.
“Nigeria is getting to the edge; no
more tolerance and we are moving
on as if all is well”
“Last week, the Appeal Court ruled
that hijab can be worn to schools.
The Sultan came out and told
Muslims that ‘if anybody does not
want you to practise Islam, you can
fight’.
“I read it on Dailypost and was
shocked. I read it again.
“The fact that nobody has come out
to say the Sultan did not say that
means he was quoted correctly.
“Yet, I have not heard reactions
from those who ought to have
spoken. I am not scared of
anybody, I will call names.
“People like (Enoch) Adeboye,
(David) Oyedepo, (Folorunsho)
Kumuyi, and other Big Pastors that
people believe so much are holier
than thou have kept quiet”.
Citing instances of contentious
religious issues in states, Primate
Ayodele said: “Imagine what is
happening in Osun State. The
government said female Muslims
students can wear hijab to school.
“Somebody came out to say, ‘okay,
Christians too should wear white
garment to school’. The governor
criticised him and so-called
Christian leaders came out to say
the governor is right.
“Also, this man in Kaduna, (Nasir)
El-Rufai says you must have license
to preach or do public religious
activities.
“Only one man has been shouting…
Apostle Suleman. He has been the
lone voice fighting against the
government’s pronouncement.
Other influential Pastors have not
uttered a word.
“Nobody is ready to bell the cat.
May be they are thinking that they
will lose rich members or their
connections in power”.
“Christians are being killed. People
who should be talking are just there
looking. If these killings lead to
religious war, nobody will stay. This
country is playing with disaster”.
On the way forward, Primate
Ayodele advocated that all hands
must be on deck to forestall
religious crisis.
“Even though I am still watching
him, the new CAN president must
take steps to put the plight of
Christians at the fore front,” he
charged.
“We must harmonize in this
country. There must be equity and
balance. We must respect each
other’s religion.
“A man like me is tolerant. I have
Muslims who come to my church
that I assist. We should stop all
these signs of extremism.
“There is an inter-religious boy in
place. We should do more to ensure
peace exists because that is the only
way Nigeria can fully attain its
potential.”
